Abstract: The longitude-time cross section of outgoing longwave radiation and zonal winds at the equator indicates a regular eastward propagation of interannual time-scale perturbations all the way from the Indian Ocean, across the ...

Abstract: Parameter sweeps are commonly used to explore the behavior of dynamical systems. This paper derives exact solutions for the instances in time to stroboscopically sample the response of a dynamical system subject to varying ...

Abstract: This paper proposes a netlike energy director (ED) made of carbon fiber-reinforced thermoplastic (CFRP) composites for ultrasonic welding. To explore the benefits of using netlike EDs, the joint qualities with flat EDs and ...

Abstract: This paper reports the optimal use of control zones to achieve required uniformity of temperature distribution in local postweld heat treatment of welds in 9% Cr heat-resistant large pipe system. In this research, local ...

Abstract: Consideration of initial stress state after cement hardening provides a vital basis for the prediction of cement failure, which has been overlooked in previously published methodologies partly due to the difficulties in ...

Abstract: Taking Edong Yangtze River Bridge as the research subject, the influence of error of unstressed cable length on the geometric shape and internal force of super-span hybrid girder cable-stayed bridge during completion is ...

Abstract: Additive manufacturing (AM) is now capable of fabricating geometrically complex geometries such as a variable-density lattice structure. This ability to handle geometric complexity provides the designer an opportunity to ...

Abstract: Ultrasound-guided fine needle biopsy and vacuum-assisted minimally invasive rotary cutting are favored in clinical applications due to their cost-effectiveness, minimal trauma, and lack of radiation. However, the existing ...
